New wild axanthic??? Silver arowana from wes rare fish

[jlnguyen74]

Because you are lazy and can't organise a team to dig a pond in a few days doesn't mean it can't be done
Give me a team of 20 good construction men and I could get a pond up and running
A team is only as good as its leader
And I wouldn't be scared of a project like that

You say I'm crazy for the price I paid for a Asian aro if that's the case what does it make the person who purchased this aro as I'm sure he paid more than me

How much was paid for this panda aro I have found people who have paid to much never like to tell a price
We get silly replies like it cost as much as a small car

Why are you defending this fish so much your not the owner surely if his job to defend his purchase not yours

No, I'm not lazy. As you notice, after some effort spent on those few posts, I brought out some good from your obtuse mind. No one will give you a team of 20 good construction men. That has to come out of your bank account. You're right. A team is only as good as its leader. Is that why you need a team of 20 GOOD construction men? To compensate for the lack of GOOD in their leader? Is that why you wouldn't scare of a project like that, but you scare of risking life to collect fish? Why don't you go dig a pond next to a river by yourself? Too scare to do it, don't you?
I didn't say you're crazy for the price you paid for your Asian aro. I said YOU are NOT as smart as those Asian or South American. You paid high price for a common fish, while other paid high price for a rare fish, and you don't even realize that.
I don't defend the fish. I just give you the same treatment you give others. You just don't get it, or anything above!

Right

Nice aro great colour shame it lost the panda eye shame it got drop eye

How come are you so stuck on the panda eye or drop eye issue? Is it so easy for you to pick on the only flaw, the well-known flaw of silver arowana (who's lazy now?) since there's no other flaw that you can pick on? Is it too hard for you to comprehend that this fish is rare for not just the panda eye character (the selling point as you claim), but for being an axanthic silver arowana? Read the title! Read the OP first post slowly! Look up dictionary word by word, if it's too hard for you to understand. Don't be lazy and stop reading at the "panda eye!" Let me help you.

Wes rare fish recently brought in a couple wild caught axanthic? ?? Silver arowanas......dark surrounding the eye like panda variety but with yellow tinge and almost transparent body......amazing fish to say the least.......either snow white platinum or yellow axanthic or ?????? A Japanese scientist in Peru posted a pic of one saying it's a new discovery he has never seen......

It's total rubbish saying that just because they came off a plane from Peru they must be wild caught
It's like saying when a plane comes from Africa all the passengers must be African

It's not rubbish to say that because fish came off a plane from Peru they must be wild caught. It's too obtuse to compare fish to passengers! Fish can't book a flight, or travel!

sorry, actually these were exported out of Nigeria, they're wild African silver arowana...

the social economic structure is totally different from Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. The aforementioned countries have a long history of aquaculture, probably for over 30 years in the Aquarium industry or more. Where as in Iquitos, people barely have electricity along the river, no glass fish tanks in most holding places. If they're going to breed anything it would be tilapia first. They are now beginning to put fish in ponds for rearing and small scale breeding, but nothing near the sophistication of what they've been doing in Asia. The mentality is different also...trust me, I'm Asian. and I've visited a handful of different countries in South American on a few occasions....

This is done all the time in Indonesia and Malaysia
Or are you saying South Americans are not as smart as Asian people

It's total rubbish saying that just because they came off a plane from Peru they must be wild caught
It's like saying when a plane comes from Africa all the passengers must be African

It's happens all the time and can be done in a few days they just dig a pit next to the main river then just add a connecting pipe to fill it
It's not rocket science
They catch a few breeding adults that the fry and rather than throw it back they put it in the pond

And as for seeing ponds yes I have visited farms in Indonesia
So I don't see your or anyone else's point about not seeing this for myself
I have also been to a very large fish show in Singapore called aquarama

In bro Fong defense, he bought the aro that way, and he did bring up a very interesting theory regarding drop eye. Perhaps, it's the reason why some of the arowana I bought from friends developed DE when they were in my care, when they didn't, when they were with my friends, who raised them for 2-3 years, grew them out to 18"-20" without DE issue. I hardly put light above my tank, just use light in the room or sun light

if you have an opaque top with no lights internally and only rely on side coming lights from outside the tank.. Confirm eyes will drop. Having said that.. Even with centrally located light shinning vertically down.. some aro may develope drop eyes too.... Especially when the tanks are elevated. Ground level tank tends to have less of this problem. There are lot of factors contributing to drop eyes. Light source, tank surroundings and elevation, genetics. Just my view.. Could be wrong.

So you say they have started making ponds but that other muppet says they can't do it
So which is it
They can
Or they can't

You boys defending this fish should get your story straight

Which muppet says they can't do it? Please tell me you know how to read... Please tell me you're not too obtuse to comprehend this

Come on wake up! Get a cup of coffee! Utilize all the left over gray matter in that bone head for a change! Why would one goes to all the trouble of shutting off a section of river to breed a fish that he can just go net it out of a ditch? Where's the common sense?

Hey Einstein, wouldn't it be easier and much cheaper for a native to find out the breeding season and location of the wild fish and then just net them out and take the babies than trying to hire 20 men to make a pond and then go out and catch 100 adults and then trying to breed them and feed and take care of them from floods, predators and then someone has to be there 24/7 to make sure no one vandalizes- the list goes on. But you think you just dig a hole and throw s bunch of fish in and voila instant baby Xanthic arros. LMAO- you're not that bright.

BTW- the reason they farm Asian arros is because there is very few in the wild, otherwise they would all be wild caught too.
